Seungmin Yoo

Welcome to my personal website! I am a PhD candidate in Strategy & Innovation at Boston University, Questrom School of Business.

I examine how high-skilled migrants shape innovation and entrepreneurship. My dissertation focuses on two underexplored phases of the skilled migration lifecycle: student immigration and return migration. My job market paper examines how prior U.S. professional exposure affects returning migrants' propensity to found startups in their home countries. My research has received a Will Mitchell SRF Dissertation Grant.

I will be on the 2026–2027 academic job market.
